Can you elaborate ? I don't understand how the target that invokes the
doc build relates to how the doc build is implemented.
For simplicity's sake, right now I'd like a simple invocation of
`.../b2` in the 'doc/' directory to build all of Boost.Python's
documentation.

A related question I was wondering about: is the documentation building
being CI-tested somehow & somewhere ? Can the generated docs be
inspected for manual / visual testing ?

I can see the auto-generated Boost.Python docs in
http://boostorg.github.io/python/, but that process uses SCons, not
Boost.Build, so I have no way to verify that what I'm working on right
now actually works (beside running it locally on my laptop, that is).

Thanks,
        Stefan
